“We need to prepare seriously for all the matches in our group. Having the games in Baku is an additional incentive for us. Playing on our home field with the support of our own fans will have a positive effect on us.”

Nargiz Gurbanova, head coach of the Azerbaijani national under-17 women's football team, said these words to the official AFFA website, Offsideplus.az reports.

She shared her thoughts on the group matches of the second qualifying round of the European Championship, which will be held in Baku from March 12 to 18. N.Gurbanova, who said that they knew Luxembourg as their first opponent, also revealed the favorite of the group: "We met Luxembourg in the qualifying round of the last European Championship. We analyzed that match and worked on our mistakes. This time we will try to perform better. The Bulgarian team is the favorite of the group. Because they last played in the A League and drew with a team like France. Malta is also a good opponent."

According to the calendar, our team will test its strength against Luxembourg on March 12, Bulgaria on March 15, and Malta on March 18. All three matches will be held at the "ASCO Arena".
